Disgusting Sandwiches

We had Mrs Genet today. We read the story 'The Disgusting Sandwich'. Here is a description of the story from the Scholastic website:

We then made our own 'Disgusting Sandwiches'!!

On our sandwiches we put:

• Bird legs (pretzels)
• Stones (chocolate chips)
• Fairy dust (sprinkles)
• Dead ants (chocolate hail)
• Snot (golden syrup)
• Blood (jam)
• Troll smiles (apple pieces)
• Slugs (banana)
• Toenails (chippies)
• Dragon tails (carrots)
• Sand (superwine biscuits crunched up)
• Pond weed (lettuces)
• Mud (marmite)
• Tree bark (cheese)
• Worms (spaghetti)

We got to choose what we wanted on our sandwiches.  Were we brave enough to eat them??

Some were delicious! Some were disgusting!

Treasure Maps

We combined all our new knowledge of maps, keys and directions to create our own treasure maps!

We have secretly hidden treasure somewhere on our treasure map.  Can you follow the directions we have written and find the treasure?

Maps and Keys

In Maths we have been learning 'Position and Orientation' for Geometry. 

We are learning:

• left and right
• clockwise and anticlockwise
• compass directions - north, south, east and west
• to use fractions - 1/4 a turn, 1/2 a turn
• co-ordinates in a grid.

We have been having lots of fun creating pathways and giving our buddies directions!

Today we incorporated our Maths and Reading to learn about maps.

Through our literacy focus of 'Language, Symbols and Text' we are learning about a key on a map and what the symbols mean.

We can play this game to teach us about keys on a map:
